Hello Division 25 West! This is your Lieutenant Governor Matthew Reminick with my final message of the term. During these past 12+ months, I have served our amazing division to the best of my ability. I want to thank all of you for your hard work and dedication and for sticking through with me from the beginning. Leaving this position leaves a bitter-sweet feeling in my heart. I have been with this inspiring organization for the past 4 years, following in the footsteps of the great leaders before me: Andrew Thai, Iris La, and Allison Hamoy. I would like to think we each left our mark on 25 and Allison Hamoy. I would like to think we each left our mark on 25 West and all the pufferfish who in-spired us to take the position in the first place. Although I am sad to retire, I am also moved by the leadership I see in the future of this organization. I will have a more thorough and grateful speech pre-pared for March DCM, DCON, and Banquet, but for now just know I am forever in your debt for put-ting your faith in me and giving me this opportunity to inspire other Key Club members in the way they have inspired me. L-O-V-E I love my 25 Family!!!
-Soon-to-be IP LTG Matthew Reminick.
Hello and Goodbye, Spikey babies! I've learned many things about you guys, maybe even with the little communication I possibly might have shared with you. Thank you so much for giving me and the division board the opportunity to serve you as you serve others. We have created a special bond, one that our parents told us about before coming into highschool and explaining why we should join as highschool and explaining why we should join as many clubs as possible : "ay anak ko, you will meet nice kids in key club. You will find similar interests and suuus, it will look good on your college app". But set aside from what looks good, it's about what feels good. Helping others, helps you, and it helps me. Thank you so much again, much love!
Hello Key Clubbers!WWow, it's almost the end of the term al-ready...It's been a GOLDEN year with all of you and I'm very honored to have been able to serve you this past year. To Mat-thew and all the other seniors, good luck in college or whatever else the future has in store for you! Thank you for serving in your last year of high school despite any senioritis you could've had. And to every-one else who is still in Key Club next year, let's do our best to make our seniors proud! I'm a junior myself, so I'll still be in Key Club, and as a senior I will be serving as the SOCES President. Cheers to a great term with Olivia. I'll see you at DCON, ev-eryone. Don't forget your rice cookers.

Event RecapsEl Camino & Sierra Canyon w/ Crespi
Spring Hale ConcertGabriel Salazar | El Camino Historian-Elect
In collaboration with Hale Charter Academy in Woodland Hills, the El Camino Key Club was able to help out and contribute with the fundraising during the event. On the night of the concert, March 7th, Key Clubbers trickled in, hoping to lend a helping hand for the nearby academy. Hard work, diligence, and dedication were all present during the evening, when Key Clubbers helped out by running the concessions stand at the concert, raising money for the school’s musical program.
Luckily, the turnout was huge for the event, and, whether it through peddling brownies or corralling customers into lines, many clubbers lent a helping hand. As the night progressed, this unwavering hard work still made itself apparent. Though the scene may have been hectic at times, the volunteers persevered in serving their community. This participation in the event pro-vides a fine example of how the pufferfish spirit compels club membemembers to be selfless and hard working in their pursuits.
Crespi/Sierra Canyon Joint Laser Tag FundraiserLizzie Henson | Sierra Canyon President
On March 6th, Crespi and Sierra Canyon’s Key Clubs had a joint laser tag fundraiser at Ultrazone in Sherman Oaks, with the proceeds going to PTP. The thought process was that if either of us were trying to do a bigger fundraiser alone, we wouldn’t be as successful, being two smaller, less established clubs. So, we pooled our resources and decided to work together to have the most successful fundraiser we could have. It was fun getting to know people from the other club, especially making sure that our in-coming boards were getting to know each other so they could work together in the future. There is defi-nitely no better way to bond than by shooting people with lasers in a fun and safe way! It was also nice to get some divisional support from Taft! Probably the most interesting part of the entire night though was seeing that people actually do decide randomly to go to laser tag on a Thursday night, given that we had several people walk in who weren’t affiliated with either school to come and play laser tag. Com-bine the proceeds from ticket sales with the baked goods and pizza that we sold, and we made quite a bit of money for PTP, and had a successful and fun fundraiser!

Taft Update
Boba and Bowling Night 3/7/14
Taft Key Club kicked off first, to be of
many, boba and bowling nights. Members
went to Brian’s Shave Ice on Ventura Blvd
and had a selection of boba to dole whips
to shaved ice! After boba, everyone walked
down to Corbin Bowl for a fun night of
bowling.
Sunrise Little League Opening Day Parade 3/8/14
After an entire year, again, comes Sunrise’s Opening
Day Ceremony to kick off the season. Last year, Taft
covered this event as well as other schools in the di-
vision. Waking up at 5am, members went to either
Northrop Grumman Parking Lot or Sunrise to
direct the huge floats. The lot was filled up to its
peak at 7am, ready to start the parade. Of course, it
could ncould not be complete without a fire truck as well!
As the day went on, members at Sunrise directed
the flow of traffic and all the little leaguers to their
appropriate spots. As well, Taft’s very own Secretary,
Jake Beder, was actually in charge of coordinating
the entire ceremony. We can’t wait for another great
season of volunteering at Sunrise!
